Why Outsourcing Game Development Simply Makes Sense & How we at Vertpaint do it Right
Game development is more competitive now than it ever has been. As a gaming studio you are expected to deliver the highest quality, completely polished gameplay and consistent product management. However nine times out of ten, studios are hit with having limited internal resourcing. So this now, is where studios have started making the decision to outsource game development to a trusted outsourcing studio like Vertpaint.
Vertpaint is an outsourcing studio founded in 2019. Vertpaint has worked with many credible studios. The studio thrives from creating high quality assets, having strong communication with clients and never failing to deliver the creative vision. Making co development more enjoyable than ever.
Outsourcing is an integral part of the gaming industry. When outsourcing, you are partnering with an external studio to provide excellent support in a games production. This can include all development support from technical art, UI and UX development to Shaders etc.
Why Studios Choose to Outsource Game Development
There are many reasons a studio would choose to outsource. Outsourcing isn't just for large studios anymore. AA, AAA, Indie even solo developers now rely on outsourcing partners.
For many studios cost efficiency can be a large worry. However when partnering with an outsourcing studio you’re cutting the overhead cost of full-time hiring. With the reasonable cost, is the large dedicated team attached to an outsourcing studio (like Vertpaint). You have the pick of the litter in terms of specialists in specific departments you otherwise lack in; without having to worry about issues with scaling production.
Parallel production is enabled due to outsourcing development from a studio. If you have your own internal staff working hard at core gameplay or design for example the outsourcing studio can then handle everything else that is needed simultaneously. All whilst ensuring the quality of each asset is pristine. This allows production times to be sped up with clear feedback and clear pipelines.
If you're struggling to ensure deadlines are being met, worries about scaling production or need help with maybe a specific part of your games development ; put your trust in an outsourcing studio like Vertpaint to ensure these worries are put to rest.
Common Outsource Game Development Issues (how to avoid them)
What’s commonly found is that some studios don’t have a focus on ensuring the scope of the project is clear and understood, or there are vague contracts. This can spiral and lead to unexpected costs for a studio; fixing these issues require more hours.
At Vertpaint we prevent this by ensuring project management is strong in all areas of co development. This entails our project manager tracking hours, keeping on top of OKRs and keeping the teams aligned. Having a structured approach avoids unwarranted surprises, keeping studios on track with their allocated budgeting.
How we at Vertpaint Approach Co Development Differently
At Vertpaint we hold our standard high. Not just in our promise of high quality, but in our efficiency to speed up production time, our teams specialised expertise in each field and ensured perfect project management across all departments.

Who and What Vertpaint Can Provide Their Expertise to?
At Vertpaint we can outsource our skills to anyone in need of assistance. Having a multi-fasted team ensures that no task is too large or too small for our internal team to tackle. We have a lot of experience combined within the studio, so being able to lead a team as well as adapt to a team is just some of our key values at Vertpaint.
For years now we have been working with studios from small to large capacity. So at Vertpaint we ensure that we treat every studio like a flat plane. No studio is the same, every studio wants different quality, assets and work direction etc…the list is endless but all so different. However, being able to ensure we rock at adapting to this is key.
Why Vertpaint?
To prove our commitment to outsourcing and providing top quality aid to external studios, in 2022 Vertpaint made the bold decision to decline acquisition interests from a competing studio, choosing to instead double down on our commitment to shaping the future of the gaming space. We recently secured multi-million dollar funding and with doing so, we can continue to push the boundaries of game development.
We offer some of the industry's most elite talent, full transparency and unbeatable value backed by the industry's recognition and proven time and time again performance. At Vertpaint we promise and can prove that we were built to deliver the absolute best for simply less. Always ensuring that when we outsource game development we uphold these internal standards.
Creative Executive at Hello Giant, Jonathan Berube said “After having the chance to work with Vertpaint first hand for about two and a half years, I can now say that Vertpaint will now be part of whatever I do next.”
In conclusion outsourcing game development only becomes a hard tak if you allow it to. Of course with outsourcing to another studio you have worries with many areas; if the studio can uphold your high quality, your workflows, your vision etc. However when choosing to utilise the co development services of Vertpaint you are choosing to find a solution and avoid these issues.
